About the role
<p> </p>
<p>Seeking a<strong> "Builder-in-Residence" </strong>to launch special projects in <strong>Vienna</strong>. Are you the person who sees a problem in the morning and has an AI-powered MVP running by dinner?<br>Felix, Gregor and Ivo are looking for a super hands-on, tech-savvy "Product Swiss Army Knife" to join us in our Vienna office. You don't need to be a Senior Dev, but you do need to be a master of the modern stack: AI agents, no-code/low-code, rapid prototyping, and scalable architecture.</p>
<p>We are building a few <strong data-start="101" data-end="134">stealth-mode special projects</strong> and need someone who can iterate at lightning speed, work directly with the founding team, and think like an entrepreneur. The vibe: High autonomy, zero bureaucracy, pure building.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Your role: </strong></p>
<p>We are looking for a<strong> Technical Product Generalist</strong> to act as the "execution engine" for a series of special projects. You will sit directly with the Co-Founders and CTO to turn raw ideas into validated products. This is not a role for someone who wants to sit in meetings; it’s for someone who wants to build, break, and ship.<strong><br></strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>What You’ll Do:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Rapid Prototyping: </strong>Take a concept from a whiteboard and build a functional MVP using a mix of AI tools, low-code platforms, or light coding.</li>
<li><strong>AI Orchestration:</strong> Implement AI workflows using tools like OpenAI/Anthropic APIs, LangChain, or Cursor to automate processes and enhance product features.</li>
<li><strong>Architectural Design: </strong>Help define how different tools and databases talk to each other so our "fast" builds don't crumble when they scale.</li>
<li><strong>Iterate & Pivot:</strong> Use user feedback to change directions in hours. You should be comfortable "killing your darlings" if the data doesn't support the idea.</li>
<li><strong>Bridge the Gap: </strong>Act as the glue between the Founders' vision and the CTO's technical roadmap.</li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Who you are:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Your Tech "Toolbox" (Expected Proficiency). </strong>You should be a<strong> "power user"</strong> in most of these categories:
<ul>
<li><strong>AI/LLMs: </strong>Cursor, Replit Agent, Claude Artifacts, Midjourney, v0.dev.</li>
<li><strong>Automation/No-Code:</strong> Make.com, Zapier, Airtable, Bubble, or Webflow.</li>
<li><strong>Modern Stack: </strong>Knowledge of how APIs, Supabase/Firebase, and Vercel work.</li>
<li><strong>Product:</strong> Linear, Notion, Figma (enough to wireframe).</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong>Your Personality: </strong>

<li data-stringify-indent="0" data-stringify-border="0"><strong data-stringify-type="bold">Entrepreneurial:</strong> You’ve likely had a side hustle or tried to start a company before. You care about <em data-stringify-type="italic">why</em> we are building, not just <em data-stringify-type="italic">what</em>.</li>
<li data-stringify-indent="0" data-stringify-border="0"><strong data-stringify-type="bold">Tech-Fluent:</strong> You can hold your own in a conversation with our CTO about architecture, even if you aren't writing the production backend yourself.</li>
<li data-stringify-indent="0" data-stringify-border="0"><strong data-stringify-type="bold">Bias for Action:</strong> You prefer a "dirty" solution that works today over a "perfect" one that takes a month.</li>
<li data-stringify-indent="0" data-stringify-border="0"><strong data-stringify-type="bold">Vienna-Based:</strong> You want to be in the room where it happens. This is a high-bandwidth, in-person role</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Why is this better than a standard Dev role?</strong></p>

<li data-stringify-indent="0" data-stringify-border="0"><strong data-stringify-type="bold">Variety:</strong> You won't be stuck on one feature for six months; you'll be launching multiple projects.</li>
